About this event
Presented by JOY. Concerts Named after a telephone-dating service, telekura is a Dublin-based collective born from a shared love for a maximalist sound. Founded by Stephen Purcell and Rachel Tan – two neighbours who cycled past each other daily but made music exclusively apart – the band has evolved into a creative partnership with Liam Brady on drums, Risa Hanamoto on synths and Michael O’Sullivan on bass. The telekura sound is a vivid anomaly: a fusion of acid-soaked electronica and technicolour psyche-pop that draws from every era without being tethered to one. They’ve been championed by Spotify, received support on BBC Radio 6 Music, and covered by both the Irish and UK press. To date, telekura have supported Nation Of Language, Night Tapes and Burglar, played sets at Forbidden Fruit festival and Ireland Music Week, and will appear at Left Of The Dial and Pro Weekend Fest.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar music still playing in London this week.

Same kind of night (music) in London. Next dates first, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
